The biggest shopping day of the year may have come and gone, but the deals haven’t dried up yet. Right now, a number of games on the Nintendo Switch Eshop are on sale, giving you an opportunity to load up on some excellent titles for cheap. But because the Eshop doesn’t have regular weekly sales, these games could go back up to regular price at any time–so if you see a deal you want, grab it. Let’s dive in and look at some of the highlights.

You can save a few bucks on a handful of titles that aren’t out just yet. Everspace Stellar Edition launches December 11, but buying it early gets you 20% off, bringing the price down to $32. Guacamelee 2 is on sale for 10% off ($18) ahead of its launch on December 10, but if you own the original game, you get 30% off. Another 10% pre-order discount is available on Hello Neighbor: Hide and Seek, a prequel to the original game that you can get now for $27 before its December 7 release.

As for games you can play right now, outdoorsy types may want to pick up Big Buck Hunter Arcade or Rapala Fishing Pro Series for $24 each. Goosebumps The Game is also available for $24, and all three Syberia adventure games are heavily discounted as well.

Retro game fans can grab the shooter R-Type Dimensions EX for $12 and the platformer Wonder Boy: The Dragon’s Trap for $10. If you’re into modern games made in the retro style, you may want to grab Volgar the Viking for $5 or Mutant Mudds Collection for $7.50. And if fast-paced action is your thing, you won’t be disappointed with Velocity 2X for $10.

Microsoft has notched three more Xbox One backwards compatible games to its growing list. This trio includes a cult favorite action-RPG, a Sonic game, and a game based on a pair of famous movie properties.

The three additions are Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning, Sonic Unleashed, and Aliens vs Predator. Amalur was a single-player RPG developed by Big Huge Games and the now-defunct 38 Studios. It was meant to introduce the world in preparation for an Amalur MMORPG, but that project never got off the ground. As a result of it being the only project from a studio that received a sizable loan from the state of Rhode Island, it was also the center of some legal drama. Earlier this year, THQ acquired the rights to the franchise.

Sonic Unleashed is one of the 3D Sonic games, which tended to come with their own gimmick. In this one, Sonic would transform into a powerful werehog, to less-than-spectacular results. Aliens vs Predator is a 2010 action game that puts you into the shoes of the title Aliens, singularly deadly Predator, and gooey Colonial Marines.

While Sonic and Aliens vs Predator received middling-to-bad reviews, Kingdoms of Amalur actually got a fairly positive reception. In the GameSpot review, critic Kevin VanOrd credited its “wonderful battles against cool creatures, terrific looting and leveling, and lots of ways to customize your skills and equipment.”

As always, if you own these games already, you can simply put the disc into your Xbox One and start playing. If you own them digitally you can find them in your game collection and redownload them. Check out our full list of backwards compatible games for more.

Season 6 of Fortnite: Battle Royale is winding down, and its final set of challenges of this season are now available for Week 10. Among them is one tasking you to complete vehicle timed trials. You’ll need to do a total of three, but there’s no indication of where the timed trials are located or how to go about completing this challenge. Here’s where to go and what to do.

At a basic level, the vehicle timed trials are similar to the non-vehicle ones in the past; you go to a location (as outlined in the map and list below), start the trial, and race through markers as you make your way to the finish. The key difference here is that you’ll first need to secure a vehicle; you aren’t given one when you start the trial. You’re able to try completing it on foot, but in our experience that isn’t realistically possible.

Vehicle spawns are generally random in Fortnite, but you may have luck tracking down a golf cart at Lazy Links. Alternatively, a reliable spot we’ve found is just outside Junk Junction. To the east, just on the line separating C1 and C2, you can find a race track with four ATVs available. Conveniently, two of the timed trials are located fairly close by, so you should at least be able to easily use these ATVs (provided they do spawn in) to complete those.

However you obtain a vehicle, you’ll next want to head to one of the timed trials locations. There are at least five on the map, including those near Lazy Links, Junk Junction, Flush Factory, and Dusty Divot. Once you start the timed trial, a series of flags will appear, and you’ll need to make your way through each of them before time expires. The actual racing is relatively straightforward; you shouldn’t have any trouble seeing the flags or where you need to go–the tricky bit is securing a vehicle and finding the timed trial itself.

Fortnite Vehicle Timed Trials Locations (Week 10)

• northwest of Junk Junction, in the middle of B1
• northwest of Lazy Links, in the bottom left of F2
• east of Dusty Divot, in the middle of G5
• east of Retail Row and south-southwest of Lonely Lodge, in the top-middle of I6
• north-northeast of Flush Factory, in the upper right of D9

Alongside the other Week 10 challenges, such as the one that tasks you with visiting a camel and other objects, this represents the end of Season 6. Season 7 is just around the corner, although there’s been no official word regarding what it will consist of or exactly when it will launch.
